      / 5</font> in the picture on the left @ Grand Cross) is very simple: current
      Mana / needed Mana = Number of times skill can be used.<br>
      In game, sometimes u have 1 more cast because in the time you need to cast
      a skill x times, you Regen a few Mana and maybe you are able to cast it once again.
      I added this calculation even to skills with a delay. Phoenix shot for example.
      In this case the numbers are pure bullshit and maybe I remove it. To get real values here,
      I need to know the animation time + delay for each of this skills (and for each delay level) and use the
      Mana-Regen formula to calc a real valid result - won't happen anytime soon :P</font></p>
      <p><font face="MS Sans Serif">Left from the Skill Panel, next to the Close
      Button you can see the SP &amp; EP Calculation. It work pretty much like
      the <a href="#CharStats">Character Stats</a> Stat-Point Calculation. A Green number                  mean this is a valid setup and you have x or 0 points free.                  A Char with a red number here is impossible in game and you                  should fix it to get accurate results.&nbsp;</font></td>

BMP files in the PristonTale folder so you can open/view them with every

really liked this tool but it was not able to patch files in Subfolders. This is
a big problem if you want to see all files because you cant search for *bmp and
copy everything in a folder - a lot of files have the same name.<br>
The BMP-Patcher in PTCalc take a path, scan every (Sub-) folder in it and
finally patch every BMP file (it replace the first 15 Bytes of every BMP file
with the data in the patch.dat).&nbsp;<br>

If the Patcher is done you can save the stuff in the log window in a log file.

access the window anymore. This is because PTCalc is pure single threaded and
while looping through the Patcher code all the other stuff is delayed. Maybe
sometime in the future I rewrite this part to a&nbsp; multi-thread App... but
this is not a easy task to do and can cause nasty little problems with synchronization
